To remove the pinched pipes
WARNING
Any gas or oil remaining inside the stop valve may blow off
the pinched piping.
Failure to observe the instructions in procedure below
properly may result in property damage or personal injury,
which may be serious depending on the circumstances.
Use the following procedure to remove the pinched piping:
1 Make sure that the stop valves are fully closed.
2 Connect the vacuuming/recovery unit through a manifold to the
service port of all stop valves.
You have to recover gas and oil from all 4 pinched pipes. Depending
on your available tools, use method 1 (manifold with refrigerant line
splitters required) or method 2.
